Can i set up a spare box in my bedroom?

Im sorry if this has been asked a million times but ive had a look at a few posts but theyre not specific. Also, im not familiar with too much tech talk.
The new house had already black box (which we watch freeview on now) and a hub but obviously the web doesnt work now. I also found in a cupboard a brand new boxed silver box. Ive signed up to unlimited broadband and just recieved my new hub so just waiting for them to tell me its activated.
My main question is can i somehow use this spare box in the bedroom as it has all the bits, do i need an aerial or something upstairs or what are these radio reciever thingys ive read about? Also, is the old hub and stuff any use? I dont like throwing useful stuff away so any ideas?
Thank yooo!

It uses a different system to the new boxes and requires an active subscription and internet connection. If you try to get a subscription they will supply you with a new box. It can't function on its own and if you connect it to the Internet it won't even boot up since it doesn't have an active subscription. It's a bit like trying to use an analogue TV.

    In AS2, I can make a dynamic text box set a var name, when i
    use button set/change the var value, this textbox can show the
    value also.
    but In AS3, dynamic text box can't add var name. than how can
    i do it now?

    Set an instance name for the dynamic textfield. Then, to
    populate the textfield with the value of a variable, use:
    textFieldInstanceName.text = variableName

  • I can't tick the I have read and agreed box in order to set up my mail box

    Hi everyone. I recently joined sky and set up my Sky ID with no problems what so ever but unfortunately, I tried to set up my mail box by saying I wasn't a sky customer (I haven't left BT TV and Broadband yet but I'm hoping to) and filled in all my details but when I selected "I have read and agree" It wouldn't tick, I then decided to phone up sky and the advice was to close the browser and log in again. When that didn't work I was asked to try it on my mobile devices and it still didn't work. I tried a different browser but it still didn't work. I then asked the exact same question in the live chat but it didnt work out well. What can I do to fix this problem? 

    If you are not a Sky customer I don't think you will qualify for a mail account. Which is why you are unable to agree to the terms. To qualify for an email account you will have to subscribe to Sky TV, Phone or Broadband.

  • How can I set my y-intercept (b) equal to zero retina macbook 2014

    Hello everyone,
    I hope you can reply to my question before 11:55p.m. today because that is when my report is due. I graphed my scatter plot and got my trend line, but my professor wants the class to set the y-intercept, the (b) from y=mx+b to zero. Can you guide me step by step on how to do that? I tried clicking on the Data section, then x-value, typed zero, but my graph disappeared. I am supposed to be using Excel for this, but I only have numbers. Can you set the y-int equal to zero using Numbers as well?

    Hi Theonlymary,
    The LINEST function returns an array of the statistics for a straight line that best fits the given data using the least squares method.
    LINEST(known-y-values, known-x-values, nonzero-y-intercept, more-stats)
    Type = in a spare cell to bring up the Function Panel. Type LINEST in the search box to see help on that function.
    I don't use LINEST but it seems you can get extra stats from an array that it returns.
    It won't change your graph (it doesn't  need a graph).
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How can I set a right link Aggregations?

    I have a Enterprise T5220 server, running Solaris 10 that I am using as a backup server. On this server, I have a Layer 4, LACP-enabled link aggregation set up using two of the server's Gigabit NICs (e1000g2 and e1000g3) and until recently I was getting up to and sometimes over 1.5 Gb/s as desired. However, something has happened recently to where I can now barely get over 1 Gb/s. As far as I know, no patches were applied to the server and no changes were made to the switch that it's connected to (Nortel Passport 8600 Series) and the total amount of backup data sent to the server has stayed fairly constant. I have tried setting up the aggregation multiple times and in multiple ways to no avail. (LACP enabled/disabled, different policies, etc.) I've also tried using different ports on the server and switch to rule out any faulty port problems. Our networking guys assure me that the aggregation is set up correctly on the switch side but I can get more details if needed.
    In order to attempt to better troubleshoot the problem, I run one of several network speed tools (nttcp, nepim, & iperf) as the "server" on the T5220, and I set up a spare X2100 as a "client". Both the server and client are connected to the same switch. The first set of tests with all three tools yields roughly 600 Mb/s. This seems a bit low to me, I seem to remember getting 700+ Mb/s prior to this "issue". When I run a second set of tests from two separate "client" X2100 servers, coming in on two different Gig ports on the T5220, each port also does ~600 Mb/s. I have also tried using crossover cables and I only get maybe a 50-75 Mb/s increase. After Googling Solaris network optimizations, I found that if I double tcp_max_buf to 2097152, and set tcp_xmit_hiwat & tcp_recv_hiwat to 524288, it bumps up the speed of a single Gig port to ~920 Mb/s. That's more like it!
    Unfortunately however, even with the TCP tweaks enabled, I still only get a little over 1 Gb/s through the two aggregated Gig ports. It seems as though the aggregation is only using one port, though MRTG graphs of the two switch ports do in fact show that they are both being utilized equally, essentially splitting the 1 Gb/s speed between
    the two ports.
    Problem with the server? switch? Aggregation software? All the above? At any rate, I seem to be missing something.. Any help regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated!

    If you ran two streams simultaneously, then you should see a difference between a single 1G interface and an aggregate of two 1G interfaces.

  • Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide?

    Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide, each with it's own possible answer without having to have a separte submit button for each?
    Message was edited by: Suzanne Petty

    I'm using Captivate 5 - I'm thinking I would like to put two or three text entry boxes on one slide - say labeled Name, Email and Company I'd like to have any answer be accepted, yet I still want to have the answers included with the quiz reporting for our main quiz which I set up using a question pool.
    I understand I can uncheck the validate user input box in the general menu in the property inspector, but that also makes the reporting menu inactive for the text entry box.
    Is there a way to make validate user input accept any answer that is typed in the box, but still have the answers reported with my quiz?
    Thanks

  • I have two AppleID's. Can I set up a new Apple ID just for document syncing in iCloud? How?

    I have two AppleID's. Both use known email addresses. I need absolute security for documents. Can I set up a new Apple ID just for document syncing in iCloud? How?

    Sorry, I did not mean to imply that security was non-existant or horrible, just it is online, so no absolutes.
    iCloud is really not useful, IMO, for collaborating as only you or your AppleID enabled devices can access the files.
    I have multiple online storage accounts with the common free services, but my most used is www.box.net.  Many document apps will readily support it, and even if one does not, you can use the box.net app itself to access files, then open them in the app usually.  And you can share your online folders, with reasonable controls on access to keep control of who can see (and upload or download) what.
    A lot of people I know use dropbox as well, but they are usually using paid accounts (often their company sets one up for them to use to exchange files with clients) and I don't know how much better is the security on a paid dropbox account versus a free one.  I suspect the free ones are on a par with box.net.
    You could also use add security by using some sort of PGP or other encryption tools to encrypt files put up on the shared folder(s).  You'd exchange public keys with your colleagues so they could decrypt those files once they download them.  That may be overkill for many peoples needs though.
    Another option, if you have an online hosting account, is to get one that offers SFTP access and use that for sharing files (the downside of that is having to distribute the password to colleagues, so you could loose control of it if one of them is careless or thoughtless with it).  It seems more and more document-type apps for iOS are supporting generic FTP and SFTP as well as the popular free online storage solutions.

  • How can I set the text feild in a form to print out the entire feild?

    Right now it's only printing out what shows in the box, I want the box to expand when printed and show all the text entered in the field, how can I set it to do that?

    I think that the font size has to be set in the form itself, not the FDF.

  • How can i set a layout for MIGO screen

    Hello all,
    How can i set a layout for MIGO screen. & make that layout default. Like i want to drag Requistioner column next to quantity in MIgo screen. temporarily I can drag but is there a way to save as layout & save it.

    Hi
    First you arrange however you want and then go to table settings which is there in the right corner of the item details and create a variant and save.
    Find a button with blue yellow and white at the top end above the vertical drag bar when put the cursor it will show you as Configuration.
    After creating the variant tick the check box use as standard setting below the variant
    Hope it helps

  • Can I set an alarm when external drive powers off?

    I must be one of the few people who have no trouble at all with TM! I use it to back up about 1TB of photos (I am a semi-pro photographer) to two different drives - keeping one offsite at the office and rotating them regularly.
    However - my external drive is hidden at home when connected. When we have a power outage (all too often here in MA) then the drive powers off and does not power on again (I am using MacAlly enclosures - have tried several, these are the most reliable to date).
    Given that TM works so well, I never think to check if it has backed up so if the power has cycled I don't notice that TM has not run. Is there any way to set an alert (dialog box popup, auto email etc) to tell me when TM cannot access the drive as it is powered off. Is this buried in Leopard, or does anyone know of a 3rd party app?
    Thanks

    I could not agree more with Kappy.
    I would never plug either my Mac or my external into anything but a UPS. They've gotten much less expensive lately, and even a fairly small one ($100 to $130 or so) will run my Mac and external for an hour or so.
    But you don't necessarily need even that much; just enough for your Mac to power itself down in an orderly manner.
    If you have a power failure to either your Mac or external disk, it can corrupt your data. I'd recommend using Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to do a +Repair Disk+ (not permissions) on your external, and a +Verify Disk+ (not permissions) on your internal. If the internal shows errors, you'll have to use the copy of DU on your Leopard Install disc to fix them. Post back if you need to do this but don't know how.
